The extent of this interest is re- flected in the recently published yearly raport of the League of Nations on the statistics of the trade in arms and ammunition. Though the figures show a drop of some two million pounds, the total figures for the volume of export still reaches the staggering total of eleven odd millions, of this sum it appears that the British Empire is responsible for 30 per cent, France 12.9 per cent, and the United States of Amerien 11.7 per cent. The next biggest aras ex porter in the world is Czecho- slovakia.

The imports seem fairly evenly distributed, the big gest importer being China with | 14.0 per cent, of the total. After China, curiously enough, como Australia and India. Salvador, Persia and Chile have also imported over £3,000,000 worth apiece.
